Reef Complete™ is a concentrated (160,000 mg/L) optimized blend of ionic
calcium designed to restore and maintain calcium to levels found in natural
seawater without affecting pH. Calcium and carbonates are essential to all
coral growth. If either becomes deficient, coral growth will cease, followed
by a rapid decline in coral health. To prevent this you must provide calcium
(Reef Complete™) and carbonates (Reef Builder™ or Reef Carbonate™).
Reef Complete™ also includes magnesium and strontium in amounts
proportionate to typical utilization ratios (100:5:0.1, Ca:Mg:Sr). This
allows one to maintain these two important elements while maintaining
calcium.
Directions:BEGINNER:
Use 1 capful (5 mL) per 80 L (20 gallons*) twice a week. Check calcium every
2 weeks and adjust amount or frequency accordingly. ADVANCED: Check calcium
level, then follow dosing regimen above until calcium is adjusted to 380–420
mg/L. Each capful will raise calcium by about 10 mg/L. Size or frequency of
amount added can be adjusted, but do not exceed 25 mg/L per day. Thereafter,
use as required to maintain calcium. EXPERT: After determining the calcium
consumption rate, set up a continuous drip system. Use the following formula
to determine how much to add to your top-off water: m=0.025vc (m=mL of
product to add to top off water, v=volume of tank in gallons*, c=amount to
raise calcium in mg/L). For example, if you want to raise calcium by 20 mg/L
in a 50 gallon* tank, then you would add 0.025x50x20=25 mL into the top-off
water. HINTS: If used with Reef Calcium™, it is not necessary to exceed 380
mg/L total calcium. Calcium over 400 mg/L is not recommended. Use Reef
Status™: Calcium to measure calcium.
